"This decaf coffee is all about smooth balance and easygoing sweetness. Right from the first sip, you’ll notice a dark chocolate richness that’s smooth but never overpowering. As the cup cools, a gentle pop of pear acidity shows up, not sour, just bright and crisp, the kind of freshness that keeps things interesting. Then shortbread ties it all together, adding a silky texture and mellow sweetness that rounds out the cup. The result is a coffee that feels smooth with balanced complex, each sip making you forget it's decaf."

we’ve met Huila Smallholder Farms face to face, here is our story with them

Located in southwestern Colombia, Huila is nestled in-between the Central and Eastern ranges of the Andes, with the middle area called the Magdalena Valley. The variation in elevation results in Huila being one of the country's most unique and complex regions of coffee production. Its terroir, climate, and harvest cycles all contribute to the quality of coffee produced here. The most impressive quality behind the coffees coming out of Huila lies in the people producing them. While Huila accounts for nearly 20% of the country's production, 80% of coffee producers operate on less than three hectares.

Colombia

The country of Colombia (not Col-um-bia) boasts some pretty extraordinary claims to fame.

It is the world’s leading exporter of emeralds–exporting 70-90% of the world’s supply. It is the world's second most biodiverse country–with more species of bird than in Europe and North America combined. It has the world's tallest palm trees (up to 200 feet tall!) and the world’s most colorful “rainbow” river (Caño Cristales).

It is also the third largest producer of specialty coffee in the world, preceded only by Brazil and Vietnam. But it didn’t arrive at that place overnight.
